We often find ourselves unable to move forward due to the enormity of the situations that are presented to us. We may feel stuck, tired, and at times, hopeless. So we armour ourselves to face the world. This armouring occurs in the form of addictions such as overeating; using drugs and alcohol; isolating and repeating patterns of toxic relationships. As a result our hearts become numb. We move through life with an armored exterior, fearful of experiencing our feelings and emotions. By creating a safe environment, I help unlock and release pain.

A good fit between therapist and patient is an essential ingredient in forming an effective working alliance, assuming the therapist has strong academic credentials. That is why I encourage patients to do their research. The best way to determine whether people can work well together is to talk. There should be no charge for an initial phone consultation to evaluate this. If after a phone visit it doesn't feel like a good fit, I will help you find someone who is.

Life can feel messy and chaotic. It can be such a grind to navigate the present while carrying burdens of the past while existing in the systems that impact us. Doing it all with a mental health concern can make it even more complicated. At the same time, you are a whole person with strengths, resilience, and creativity. Therapy is a space to bring all of your experiences and all parts of yourself, and walk through your journey with someone who can hold compassion without judgement. During therapy I aim to co-create a space where we can play, explore, grow, and honor all parts of you in ways that feel affirming.
